Biglerville defeated Camp Hill 3-0 in the District 3-AA boys' team tennis third-place game Wednesday afternoon at the Hershey Racquet Club.

The Canners will move on to the PIAA tournament, while the Lions' most successful season in head coach Greg Herb's 20-year career came to an end.

Biglerville jumped up 2-0 early in the match. At No. 3 singles, Nate Long defeated Adrian Malarich 6-0, 6-4 in just under an hour.

“He got all his serves in,” Biglerville head coach Bob Brubaker said.

Just a few minutes later, Cole Herzing won at No. 1 singles 6-1, 6-1 over Paxton Fitzpatrick to make it 2-0 in the Canners' favor.

At that time, Biglerville's No. 2 singles player, Kyle Freeman was up one set on Patrick Yang, but Yang went up 4-3 in the second set to prolong the match.

“It was gut-check time, and he came back,” Brubaker said.

Freeman broke Yang's serve after several deuces to tie the set at 4-4. Then he held serve to go ahead, and then clinched both his own match and his team's state berth by breaking Yang's serve again in four straight points.

“We just made the errors, and they didn't make the errors,” said Herb, whose team was denied its first appearance in the state tournament.

Until Freeman made that 6-4, 6-4 win official, the match was beginning to tighten up because Camp Hill was doing well on the doubles courts. The Lions were up one set in each of the doubles matches when the Canners clinched.

“I thought we could definitely be competitive with this team,” Herb said. “The score didn't show it but we had some wins in doubles.”

In No. 1 doubles, Camp Hill's Matt Leach and Troy Getty won the first set 7-6, (8-6), coming back from down 5-2 in the tiebreaker. A Leach overhand put the Lions up 7-6, then Leach split the Canners with a forehand for the winning point. They were tied with Adam Schnider and Evan Foster 1-1 in the second set when the match was called.
